This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.
I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!
I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and Becky pings everyone most mornings. Let Becky (Paynoattentionmanbehindthecurtain) and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.
So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Remember when I was complaining about the guy behind me that had blocked one of my main trials. I ran into him today. He asked me if he could mow some grass on my property:), I said well yeah I guess, if you'll tell me why you blocked that trail on your property I used.
Make along story short, he said he did not realize I used that trail, he was very sorry and would open up enough for me to get thru, was Sunday soon enough:)
Renewed my faith in neighbors a tiny bit:)
Becky
One more pic... here's another one that's taken over the pasture - this kind of red-topped grass. I'm not particularly pleased, because once it gets mature the horses don't seem to eat it, but I did think my red horses and the red grass against the green looked pretty in a picture.
I think CS is going to do it for me 2 X a day, and the other neighbor will do it once. CS said she would do it all 3 times, but I hate to make her drive up here that many times a day.
Becky
Good to have your friend that you trust that can do it at least a couple times a day, to keep a friendly eye on things. Is Rocky going along on the trip? Wondering if he's gonna behave and stay in now when Belle hits foal heat.
Nice pictures. It looks like you've got quite a bit of grass.
I don't know why the guy wants to mow. His house is probably 1/2 mile from my house. There is probably a 40 acre lot plus part of his 40 acres, between him and me.
Becky
Wow, that is pretty:).
Becky
I had thought about asking CS to do it just once a day, and have Beth do it twice. But I'm more comfortable knowing CS will be here 2x a day. Beth is OK, but she's a bit of a flake, nice but flakey:)
Becky
Pretty! I've never had a lot of luck with that stuff, I see it cascading across other people's yards, but I plant it and it goes nowhere!
Oh, I forgot. No Rocky is not going. Belle in the foal will go back in the arena before I leave. That will put two runs between her and Rock. I think he'll be fine.
BEcky
I got a new PC game Guild Wars going to go play it for a while. I'll see you all tomorrow.
Happy fragging!
She is by no way well but she's gonna be ok. Her fever has broke:')
That's good news. I don't know what's up with mine. He told me today that he was coming out and bringing me more meds after he got thru sewing up a cat. The owner never saw him . I couldn't find any medicine he left. He didn't sound like he didn't want to and even said he wasn't going to charge me because of yesterday. The house vet had sent me medicine though so she was covered but I wonder what happened?

"sigh of relief" Thank goodness, I can only imagine how you feel right now. : )
Well mine had a supposidly faulty beeper. All I can say is that I am so glad it wasn't life threatening. He didnt even make apologies. Grr.... I was so concerned last night and really wanted him here.
Did you see post 3297?
I've about decided to get my medicines in Mexico and learn how to treat them myself. Darn horse docs:')
